The election has gotten to me. I talk about general election stuff...my life is currently full of death. Not just the death of common sense that is this election but my Grandmother and Louie the Ferret.

I awkwardly express my horror, terror and anger at yet another senseless mass shooting. What the actual F*#k??? When are we going to stop people from killing people in our homes (churches, theaters, and night clubs are homes to the group of people that gather there).

Warning: I sing a song from Hanilton the musical. 😎🎷 Good Luck to everyone on Sunday's Tony awards!!

Congratulations to Lin-Manuel Miranda. This is dedicated to the thousands of one person Hamilton the Musical performances that occur daily! We will never waste our shot to sing passionately with the incrediblely talented cast! One day we might be legen...wait for it...dary!! #HamilHIMYM

Story time with Mary Sue (aka me), it's a brand new story idea based on one tiny scene that popped into my head, you get it raw. Yes I start stories with me and Chris Hardwick but later replace the two of us because why would I have stories about Chris Hardwick!!!!

My newest character: Patrice! I I apologize to everyone who has a genuine southern accent. I don't mean to make fun, it's just a character choice! I love you guys from the south. You have gritts and country fried stake and all sorts of really great food. Who would have thought you could get stake and fry it up like chicken? That's genius!

I talk about my trip to Detroit. It was fun podcasting with Joe Harvey. Patti Duff Brown made me cookies!!! I got to eat Cookie Chris Hardwick! He tasted delicious! The show was fantastic. I talked to people!

A good time was had by all!

Fairly recently the most epic thing happened. Christopher Michael Hardwick finally met Christopher Ryan Hardwick (Nerdist). I was able to talk to Christopher Michael Hardwick. We talked about Rubik's cub, the Funcomfortable Tour, and many other interesting things.

This is the coolest thing ever! Someone made a comic out of a sentence from The Nerdist Way:

Note: I was at Gallifrey One so the sound isn't the best. But I think our converstaion more than makes up for this. I really enjoyed talking to Travis about all things Nerdy! Please bugg @nerdist to do a cameo in The Inspector Spacetime Chronicles?

Our converstation starts Travis is talking about the table read and how the adio didn't turn out as well as he hoped.

The world is much poorer for the passing of Leonard Nimoy but richer for what he has left behind. Here is his last tweet: A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

It's only fitting that I follow up the Chris Hardwick with my most personal episode to date. I did stand up for the first time and yes I not only have the balls to have done it, it's here in all it's glory. Of course I tapped the "...this is what I really wanted to say." That is me after all.

A BIG thanks the Chris Hardwick for having the Nerdist School and Meltdown showroom. I appologize to Jonah Ray and Kumail Nanjiani. I was just lowering the bar for my fellow open mic-ers!

It was pretty bad weather last week. I worked way more than I thought I could handle physically or mentally. I had a uneventful trip to San Francisco. Tonight is the Weird Al tribute and then Nerdist. This is for SF Sketchfest! This is my 4th year here!

I talk about what Robin William's ment to me. I also talk about his less popular movies "Popeye", "Hook", "What Dreams May Come", "World's Greatest Dad". I also talk about how life is sometimes like Nietzsche's eternal return. I'm not sure I actually said that but it was in my notes. I was head over heels for a comedian as a child and guess what, it's happened again. Robin Williams will forever be the standard by which I measure men.

Finally, the world has never or will ever have a friend like you. I end with his song from Aladin "Friend Like Me." RIP Robin Williams, I'll always love you.

This week I talk about what I did last week. Last week I was in San Diego. If you haven't heard it by now, I quemmented on the Nerdist podcast episode with CM Punk. So listen as I tell you about it as well as take a mulligan on my quemment.

Many thanks to the gracious and charming Chris Hardwick. His super power is his ability to make people feel at ease.

This episode is brought to you with the help of Cora (an adorable 3 month old who kept distracting me) and Bentley Michaels who scored this episode. I retell what I remember from the first season of Game of Thrones. Warning: Contains Spoilers---sorta.

My life: I was told that I am trying to sound like Chris Hardwick. If that where the case: where are the dick jokes?????? But seriously, why did I freak out? Is having the same style as Chris Hardwick really a bad thing? Finally, where are the DICK jokes?

What's on my mind?

Nerding out time! The show with Ron Funches Undateable and the film Maleficent

A special thanks to the amazingly talented Bentley Michaels! He put this episode together and has been helping me with the sound of the podcast. Go listen to his podcast the 45th Parallel! http://45thparallelpodcast.tumblr.com/

Did you ever write something and think about how it'll come out. In your head you sound smart and articulate. But then you record it and it's less than planned? That's this podcast. For me....#YesToAllWoman because I felt the need to edit myself. I also felt that I started to sound like I'm whining when I was trying to talk about something important to me. Show notes:

LASIK surgery isn't bad

Jim Butcher released the latest in the Dresden Files book, Skin Game

2 Nerds 1 Podcast plays a zork game written by the talented Joe Harvey. Tim Church plays along and together they are incredible entertaining.

I talk about feminism and misogyny

The important points: being inclusive is better than exclusive

Shitting on another group doesn't elevate your group

Be respectful of one another

Please support the things I love...oh and review me on itunes?

We are all beautiful: Eva DeVirgilis is a make up artist and actress. She tells how women always apologize for being ugly. Even though she constantly tells many of the women who sit in her chair that they are beautiful, she is equally critical of herself. It's worth the 10 mins to watch! http://spillway.ca/blog/2014/05/14/we-are-all-beautiful/

Louie has the most amazing episode about fat girls! http://youtu.be/KFdWcNJ17YY It is so weird hearing the words in my head said out loud by someone else. I love the way the scene breaths. Louis CK really lets his episodes unfold. Nothing ever feels rushed or forced. This monologue is brilliant.

Pete Holmes has been killing it this week! Pete "Sherlock" holmes? Genius. Then on Thursday he has this monologue: http://youtu.be/PUeHeLIwd38

If you do not like you life, start telling yourself better stories.
